Yeah, "Voldemort" AKA Sam Cassell, Voldemort's doppelganger but in reverse coloring, was traded to the Sacramento Kings during this NBA All-Star break. The man is about 70 years old and doesn't have much playing power left in him, but I have a soft spot for this eyebrowless wonder.
He's got team spirit and delusions of grandeur AKA already considered himself a coach and mentor before he was asked to be one.
This article makes him sound evem more Voldemort-like, or something magical amd mystical. Like a unicorn. But you get the point. It also talks about his time at MCI in Pittsfield, ME. I know a thing or two about living in that town, I tell yah. (Side note: I didn't know he lived with a Cianchette family, but that's an interesting addition to the story. The Cianchette's own a construction business in Pittsfield & one of them, though not Cassell's host father, was the Republican opponent to Gov Baldacci in the 2002 gubernatorial election.) When he talked about the movie theater playing the one movie all month long...My goodness, was I nostalgic.
So, yeah, he's a sentimental favorite and by no means a practical one. Like Varitek.
Well, here's hoping our lucky little team doesn't see its demise now that that kicked Voldy to the curb to make him King.
Ha ha ha ha ha
